✦ Synopsis


We consider a class of degenerate diffusion equations where the nonlinearity is assumed to be singular (non-Lipschitz) at zero. It is shown that solutions with compactly supported initial data become identically zero in finite time. Such extinction follows by comparison with newly constructed finite travelling waves connecting two stable equilibria. (~) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
